PACIFIC COACH respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy outlines how we handle the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information. Our policy is guided by the provincial and federal privacy laws applicable in British Columbia, Canada.

What Information Do We Collect?
In the course of conducting business with you, Pacific Coach will collect information from you such as: your name, title, company or organization, address, telephone number, fax number, email address and photograph.

If you engage us to create ID cards we will collect information about those for whom we are making cards that may include information such as name, employee number, date of employment. On our web site, we may collect your Internet Protocol ("IP") address and cookies. Your "IP address" is a unique 32-bit numeric address that distinguishes your computer from another computer. "Cookies" are small text files that contain information about you, such as your user name and password, which are stored on the web browser of your computer.
